Back in Action!
Well well...when I started off blogging it was with the singular thought of continuing it till eternity. Seems, my eternity lasts no longer than 3 days. Or maybe, the fact that I had GRE then made those days unending, and once that was done, the 24-hour clock resumed. That indeed seemed like the end of one lifetime!
I am back now, only because I have bigger tasks to deal with, and this blogging gives me the perfect excuse to stay away from all of that for a while. Have not parents always encouraged children to keep diaries, and isnt this a diary, keeping with the times???Classic escapist technique, as I often call it.
Actually, I still havent come to terms with blogging. In the sense that, everytime I sit down to write, I think it's an exam I'm giving and so whatever I write, which I view as an essay, has to be my best(for anyone who just smirked, suggest you look at the possesive pronoun used!!).
Okay, so if this is indeed going to be about what I did and all that, I dont really see the point!!! I mean, why would anyone want to read what happened to me through the day, considering it takes a lot of effort on my part to go through it all over again. Unless ofcourse, the other person has just had a day worse than mine. If that's the case, I'm sorry for whoever you are.
One thing that really made my day is this one class I had. The course is called Science Fiction: An appreciation. I'm glad IIT, by which I mean the committee that decides the courses, had the good sense to include this. It's the course I have enjoyed most, in my 3 + year long stay here. The prof speaks impeccable English with a liberal helping of things that are certainly 'taboo' in the confines of the class room, in a way that could keep you laughing. Why cant all 'elders' realise that we are grown up enough and acknowledge the fact that we know just as much as they, about things-that-should-not-be-even-thought-about,if not more!!!! Someday maybe...
What a comeback, absolutely BORING!! I better stop now before I start to spew of things that start to border on the repulsive. Promise, that the next time I write, which I hope is in the near future, I shall blow your brains off.
